H 2814 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to special investigators of the alcohol beverage control commission

This bill amends Chapter 32, Section 3(g) of the General Laws to clarify that "special investigators of the alcoholic beverages control commission" fall under the definition of "special investigators" with specific powers. It directly affects the Alcohol Beverage Control Commission by explicitly including its special investigators in the legal definition. The change is purely procedural, adjusting the wording of an existing law to ensure clarity about who qualifies as a special investigator within the commission's structure. No new policy or regulatory changes are introduced.
